Starts and "runs" great, until you decide you want to go somewhere other than the driveway. Possible cam sensor problem, just have not had time to dig into it.
It is all part of the charm of older Land Rover ownership. I don't know anything about Disco 1's, so I ask the question, does it have a cam sensor?
Yes it does. The previous owner put a new one in it about 6 months before I bought it. They are prone to getting oil in the connector and make you want to burn it to the ground. Just have not had the desire to look at it yet.
Mine is a td5 I recently had to replace the injector wiring harness because of oil contamination in the connector which is under the rocker cover.
One of the reasons why I love my 3.9 instead of the 4.0's, just a simple distributor!

My never ending but beloved D2 project, here in the wild:

New here so still trying to figure out the pic uploads, hopefully it's not too big.
Would love to do a full rebuild with new galvanized frame but for now here she is, 1983 Land Rover 109 EX-MOD. Bare all around. No radio, ac, no power steering or power brake. Just ol drum brakes all around. Think if I do a restore on her I will keep her all stock. Nothing like 8 plus layers of hand brushed green and black paint to keep her looking fresh..
